REBUTTAL ny THE STATE.

After the reading Of this deposition
the Court instructed the State to have
all rebutting testimony ready by this
morning, when Gen. Chalmers in.
quired: "Will the defense be allowed
TO bring in any more testimony, your
HonorP / don't know how it is in
this State, but in Mississippi when the
defense closes 1t closes for good"
Gen, Wright We will be allowed
TO bring in what is called surrebuttal,
General.
Gen. Chalmers-Then will we be al
lowed to rebuff again. What want
to know is who is to have the last but.
This ended the proceedings for the
day, and court now adjourned to meet
again at $3.50 this friday morning.

Dr. McGee's Opinion

Was substantially as follows: The case
involves the question OF heredity
From the condition OF the party's
grandparents, parents and collateral
relatives, he must have inherited a
peculiar condition OF the nervous sys.
tenn which would be inductive OF in
sanity. That fall might have ruptured
q small vessel OF the brain, causing in.
fusion.
The Attorney General obi ecled, and
insisted upon a dirsct ans yer 10 the
question, and the Court instructed the
witne. to 30 answer it.
DR.. MCGEE: The man Was not sane,
according to the hypothetical case pre-
sented TO me.
The D1ctor furthe; stated that he
would like 10 give the reasons why he
had arrived at that opinion, but before
the question VIII, ther lssv5 should be
granted him was decided court ad-
journed until 2 o'clock pm.

Mr.. Moody,s Birthday Fund

New YORK, February Saturday,
February 9th, will be the fiftieth an
niversary of Dwight L. Moody, the
we'll known evangelist. Many OF his
friends of this city are endeavoring to
make the day memorable by raisir z
a fund of money, TO be known as the
Birthday memorial fund for the en-.
dowment Of the schools for young
women and young mep," established
by Mr.. Moody at Northfield, Macs.
Friends of the evangelist in Great
Britain are understood to be moviog
in the same direction. James Talcoit,
Of this city, is the treasurer Of the
fund.

mental disturbance, might produce

mental disturbance, might produce
insanity.
THAT AWFUL SUPPOSE"
Gen. Chalmers then put his same
lengthy "suppose," and the Docto,
replied:
There are many cases OF insanity
that are never developed. TIE cir
cumstauces mentioned would have q
tendency ~ weaken the brain, and
while in this weakened condition the
brain is liable to be thrown off OF ite
balance at any sudden shock and the
individual has no control OF his will
and ia not responsible for his acts. /
was ones examined as an expert in a
case tried here before the war. 1t was
case OF toxieolopy.
"You test fed that tincture OF jessa-
mine was not poisonous, did you moi"
asked Gen. Chalmers.
Il did not. / said that it was not
poisonous 10 medicinal doses. / did
not take some Of it in my mouth, but
refused to swallow 1t. There were
othtr Illnesses in that case besides
myself / had a brother who was ex-
amined in that case"
Gen. Onqlm :rs-Was Ii he who did
this2
"HoLD ON"
Gen. Wright-Now hold on. He is
not here tn speak for any one but him
self. Don't require him to answer for
bis brothers sirs.
Gen. Chalme s-Suppose a man to
he in the condition described by Col.
CAN'T, and he should learn that the
slanderrr who had been the chief
cause Of all his troubles was in town,
don't you think he would go 10 look
for bin snd when he had found him
don't you think hs would kill him?
"He might not go 10 look for him,
blu; coming suddenly and nexpected-
ly upon him, he might lose control
Of himself entirely, and then l would
soy that tie slsLderer had better look
ont"
"Does the shedding OF blood restore
a man to his right mind when he is in
this condition.
"It does nor. A man will kill
another while in this condition with
out knowing why he did it. Some
times man Viii laboring under this
sort of afflction will kill his best
friend.
"Snppose man DIES .,s what you
would expec, him to do under certain
circuns ances, would you say that he
was insane or n II"
Gen. Wright That would depend
on what you nigh expect. You might
expect one thing Of crszy man and
expect something else of sane man.
Witnesi-The bare fact Of his kill
ing friend or an enemy proves moth.
ing, aud your expecting him to kill
the enemy, aud his having killed him,
would be no evidence of sanity.
Gan. Chalmers thsn asked the wit.
ness to define insanity, which he did
at considerable length, but to the un.
Initiated ia metaphysical science it was
as clear as-well, as mud.
APPROACHING THE END.
At the conclusion of this witnesses
testimony Gen. Wright stated that the
defense would now close with the ex-
ception of one more deposition, but
owing to cross iutsrrogatories having
no. been fled they could not read 1t
before morning.
After considerable discussion as to
whether 1t should be read at all or
not owing to want of notice to the
State, the gentlemen finally compro-
missed their differences aud the depo-
sition was read as follows:

built with much care by the learned
gentleman representing the State dur
ing this trial. Dol. CAN'T, In speaking
OF the ISLANDERS circulated by deceased,
compared them 10 q tidal wave, be-
ginning here, but moving out with in
creased force until 10 overspread this
entire section. Although Mrs. Polk
may have been guilty OF some impiu-
dent acts, what were the mole hills Of
those acts when compared with the
monuments OF calumny made out Of
them by Dalton2 He rolls the wave
over TO Mariana, Ark. from there II
gathers force and sweeps back to Boil
var, aud thence floods the whole coun-
try to the great city OF 81. Louis, over
whelmiDg not only the defendant, but
the entire Goodwin family and their
extensive connection. Again, said the
gentleman, the scattering OF these ru.
mons and scandals broadcast operated

SOWING DRAGONS TEETH,
which fprouted and brought forth
Kissing serpants to crawl In the path
of the defendant wherever he went.
l, matters not which way he turned,
there was the writhing, kissing
thropg, with their fangs fastened In de-
fendant's very heart, singing him into
madness and driving him into despera-
ton. And yet the gentlemen cham.
pioning the State say we have no
right to uncover and chow these things
to the jury In all their hideous ugli.
nefs.
Col. CAN'T was followed by Gen.
Wright, whore mode OF warfare Is to
stand of and strike the opposition
right between the eyes with solid
chunks Of law end logic.
RESULT OF THE woRDY WAR.
After about two hours had been &C.
cupied in the discussion, the Court
announced that the State wou d be
permitted to show that any specific
act charged by deceased against MrS.
Polk was true, in opposition to the
claim OF the defense, but that the re-
putahon Of Mrs. Polk could not be
sssalled on general principles. They
could only establish the truths or
falslty of the particular transactions
brought to light, either by direct or
Circumstantial evidence.
Tbs jury was then brought in. Dr.
Saunders was recalled by the defense,
and said:
MIS-. FOLKS PHYSICAL CONDITION.
Mrs.. Polk was In bad health
throughout 1884 So, being affi cted
with complicated female weakness.
She visited New York for treatment.
She came back wearing stern pes.
cary, the instrument shown by DR..
Maury yesterday, aud remained un.
der treatment by DR.. Marry for SIX
months. The instrument has TO be
removed by doctor familiar With its
uses, and she could not have removed
II herself. / should say 1t was i'm
possible for her to have sexual inter-
course with any one while wearing

Col. CAN'T propouuded his long
question, and the witness replied: l
would say, taking that as the history
OF the case, that the man was OF un-
sound mind; in other words, that he
was insane. A hurt on the head
would weaken the organism Of the
brain, which might be restored to it's
natural condition; or 1t might remain

ject OF insanity and nervousness a
special study, aud have also treated
such cases mere.
Col. CAN'T put the same Hypothetical
case as that put to the last witness,
who answered;
/ would cay that the history given
would prsdispose the the party to in
sanity, and the causes mentioned aft
ing on the mind of the individual so
predisposed would be very apt to pro-
duce emotional insanity.
The cross examination OF this wit.
ness was by putting the same lengthy
question, with about the same answer
as the former.
